is it possible?

So my baby wasn't latching on right and I decided to pump ... I did for about a week and I just got so discouraged. I couldn't get any sleep as I was feeding him by bottle for 30 min then pumping for 45-1hr on both breast to only get an ounce and half at best. I was having horrible mood swings, my husband had to go back to work and I decided to just stop. Now I'm having a guilty conscious. Is it possible to try and start up again 2 weeks later? Maybe I didn't give it enough time? When did you start pumping 3-6ounces in one sitting? Just a FTM looking for some advice. Thanks ladies :)

It's possible to start bf again! I'd say ditch the pump, for right now though, and just focus on letting baby nurse. Once you're in a good pattern, and your body knows what it's doing, pick pumping back up.
